Abstract

Evaluation of human appearance might be quite tricky in population, especially head and face region. Somatoscopy is used by Physical Anthropologists to evaluate morphological diversity in humans including the characteristics of skin color, hair, and iris. The aim is to know the variation in characteristics both between individuals and in groups or populations. Characteristics of skin color, hair, and iris have a standardized scale in evaluating it to improve the objectivity of the data
